-
Utah State University
-
M.A. Thesis
-
"To assess the impact of these agrarian virtues on American agricultural spaces, this thesis examines the history and modern practices of a subsidiary institution of American culture: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Through historical and ethnographic research of the Church’s industrial welfare farms and family garden spaces, this thesis examines how the LDS Church has embraced independence and self-reliance as motivating ideals for its agricultural projects."
